Kathy, I looked in my file and I don't have any of the names you mentioned. That may not mean much as I have very little on my Stone family. My gg grandmother was Sarah "Sallie" Stone who married Joshua Abney. Sarah's father and mother were John Peter and Annie (Wiggin) Stone. I have a little info on the siblings of Sarah but that is about all. I would love to learn more about this family......Betty Phillips > Hi Betty > I'm "digging for roots" in Southern Illinois also.
